SECOND BLESSING CHOIR ENCORE (Nov. 12)

The choir will sing some of their favorite hymns. We hope they are yours too!

A Friend in Need In times of trouble, we look to caring Christian friends to listen to us while we work through our feelings. A Stephen Minister can be such a friend, either to you or to someone you know. Stephen Ministers are committed to providing Christian care for others experiencing many different needs. If you or someone you know could benefit from the trained, caring presence and listening ear of a Stephen Minister, contact Pastor Jonathan.
